The staff is helpful in the store, nursery, and cafe. If i lived here, i would be shopping here a lot. I like the quality of the tools. The wide selection of gifts, and the hardscape for the garden. The cafe with indoor (solarium seating) and outdoor seating is a treat.

Comparing prices to the states, including exchange fees, the prices appear to be quite reasonable. The great service was frosting on the cake. The staff in the nursery were engaging & polite. The cashier (i think) told me the item i was buying wood be on sale the next month if i wanted to wait. That was an unexpected service.

Visited the Fordham Nursery in search of goldfish and vegetable plants…read more Currently in late March they did not have any vegetable plants and I forgot to ask when they would have them in. I wanted them already a bit grown so I can get ahead start growing my vegetables. As for the fish, they had two gold fish, but a decent selection of other fish, pretty much they carry the low maintenance easy to take care of fish, nothing too exotic, but they did have some ugly eel looking fish that were not eels. They were creepy. Great selection of plants, flowers, cactus, seeds, and nutrition for the following. You can also find chicken feed, bird feed, dog food, cat food, fish food. The prices are fair, a few pounds below Pets at Home. They have a good selection of dog toys, dental hygiene products for dogs, hygiene products for dogs and dog treats. I didn't bother to look at the cat section due to not having a cat I didn't pay attention. They have a variety of guinea pigs, rats, birds, domestic fish, live meal worms, live crickets and live grasshoppers. I loved their selection of cacti. I found several I wanted for my office at work, but went against buying a cactus in fear I would get in trouble at work for pulling out the sharp spines and placing them on the seat of my cubicle mate's chair. I abstained from the cactus purchase. Left with some lavender seeds and parsley seeds, which were on discount for discount £0.99, two knuckle bones for the dogs, some dried sausage for the dogs, and Arm and Hammer toothbrushes and toothpaste for the dogs. I look forward to my next adventure at Fordham Nursery.
